MLB DFS: Thursday, 1 Minute Clinic

Let’s take a quick look at the slate tonight. For more in depth breakdown, listen to the Lineup Logic Podcast today at 11AM

Heaviest Favorite

James Paxton v LAA -207 – Paxton has been nothing short of spectacular in the last month, he will continue his second half campaign against an Angels team with a low k rate but a HC rate that can be equally low at times. The Angels are implied for 3.1 runs, the lowest on the slate.

Highest Game Total

4 games sit at 9.5 runs, we will see if they stay that way.

MIA v WAS, Straily v Roark:

In play? Two hit or miss pitchers take on two hit or miss offenses in the last game of a 4 game series.Mini stacks mostly, Zimmerman’s massive game last night was the first time all week that the Nats have put up double digit runs.

HOU v CHW, Peacock v Rodon:

In play? Peacock has had hard contact issues of late but massive K upside, Rodon has been showing signs of improvement. The ‘Stros can’t get blanked again, Vegas has them as the highest total of the night.

LAD v ARI, Darvish v Banda:

In play? Darvish makes his second start for LAD and deserves a look in tourneys, as people will feel fine fading him with other solid options. The Dodgers stack in play with one of the higher IRT on the board against Banda.

BAL v OAK, Miley v Smith

In play? The O’s will go overlooked in this spot and Smith has struggled in his 5 July starts, a solid pivot stack at their high price tags with depressed owenership. Miley is not rosterable, but I don’t think the A’s are in play with his massive GB rate of late

Highest Implied Team Total

Astros v Rodon – 5.6 Runs- No surprise here, even after getting blanked by Miguel Gonzalez, the StackStros are getting the highest implied run total of the night vs Carlos Rodon. However, the lefty is coming off a solid outing in Boston and has shown strikeout ability in recent games. With the Dodgers seeing a similar number ownership should be split.
